Remembering Bernie Saggau

Bernie Saggau

You probably saw that we lost the great Bernie Saggau recently.

A tribute from the IHSAA.

The NFHS did a comprehensive job in memorializing him here.

Personally, I can say whenever Mr. Saggau came to speak at a DMOA event, there’s a reason we’d have a standing-room-only crowd: the man had great passion for high school athletics and did his best to deliver his heart-felt message with that same fire and enthusiasm. Beyond just a great leader and administrator for so many years, look up his accomplishments as an official and a four-sport athlete before that. Highly impressive, yet humble and grounded.
